Judy Pasek, STEM Liaison Librarian: My Services

Information Literacy

"Information literacy is the set of integrated abilities encompassing the reflective discovery of information, the understanding of how information is produced and valued, and the use of information in creating new knowledge and participating ethically in communities of learning."

What I Do

I joined the Research and Instruction department at UW Libraries in July 2014 as a STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) Liaison Librarian. I provide research support and instruction services for STEM disciplines, with primary responsibility for working with the College of Engineering and Applied Science and the Department of Psychology. My primary goal is to provide high quality and proactive library information services to support academic needs of students and faculty in their pursuit of greater knowledge, achievement, and scholarship. I am available for research and data management consultations, information literacy instruction, specialized workshops, and information about scholarly communication and library services. I am also the primary point of contact university-wide for assistance with EndNote and Mendeley citation management systems.

Library Liaison Services in Research and Instruction are evolving along with changes in scholarly communication practices and advances in pedagogy. Listed below are examples of the types of research consultations and curriculum support I can provide.
